Really funny and insightful at the same time. Some episodes are also available on YouTube. Search "Louis Theroux". His earlier TV Nation series are not as good. His later "When Louis Met..." series are worth a watch if you are familiar with British celebrities.

A few recent documentaries are worth a watch.

1) Man on Wire (2008) - about Philippe Petit, a tightrope walker's daring exploits and how this dramatically changes him and his relationships. Excellent.

2) Running the Sahara (2008) - about 3 different men running across the Sahara desert through 6 countries. Narrated by Matt Damon and supported by National Geography. Pretty good.

I am looking for good documentaries on philosophy or general existential matters. I remember reading in one thread about really well made doc. movie about topics of life (meaning of existence and etc.) , but I cannot find that post anymore.
Anyway, your suggestions are welcome:
Any documentaries about mathematics and science are also very welcomed.
